Resumo: |
This research aims at contributing to a reflection on the teacher s job at the stricto sensu graduate level through the analysis and interpretation of representations about the teaching work expressed in a text produced by a professor who teaches at a public university, in order to raise the real work activity she develops. Some researches reveal the complex issues involved in the work of graduate professor and suggest that he/she is affected with the teaching discomfort due to the pressure to perform many tasks prescribed both by the university and the research funding agencies, which measure productivity and efficiency through indexes. This suggestion leads us to the hypothesis that this discomfort should be expressed somehow in the texts where the professor describes her/his own job. In order to investigate this hypothesis, we adopt the socio-discursive interactionism (SDI), which attributes to acting and language a fundamental role in human development. According to this approach, job is defined as a way of acting whose representations are expressed in and through language, and it is considered a major human being improvement center in current society. Thus, studying texts with representations about the job of graduate professor, we also contribute to a better understanding of how this personal and professional development occurs in working situations. Besides SDI, adopted as theoretical and methodological framework, our research is based on other disciplines which study working situations, as Activity Ergonomics and Labor Psychology, particularly the Activity Clinic. Tenets of the French inspired discourse analysis complement the data analysis. To generate the text under analysis we employed a procedure called instruction to the double with an experienced professor of the field of language studies who teaches at a public university. Through this procedure, she lived an experience providing this researcher with instructions on how to perform her work activities. In order to complement this procedure, we also used an open interview. The analysis of the text transcribed for this research allowed us to access the multiplicity of tasks carried out by the professor, as well as the gestures of her métier (job). The difficulties to perform the activities and the alternative ways to overcome them were also evidenced, bringing about the professor s distinct modes of acting and the uneasiness due to the tasks and the dimensions involved in the job. Moreover, this analysis evidenced the diverse functions of the graduate professor and the elements of the teaching work involved in any of them. All this reveals the complex nature of this teacher s job, since she/he should know how to manage innumerous elements. This thesis consists, in a general sense, in the idea that the multiplicity of tasks performed by the teacher at the graduate level in the field of language studies impairs the performance of research and teaching activities prescribed in the official documents ruling her/his profession, mainly those intending to be seen as evaluative ones. Regarding this fact, we should reflect in search of alternative ways to solve the problems identified |
